It's Back!!!!!
Yes, I finally got a new idea for the latest edition of All We Have...and I'm sure you were all just holding your breath the whole time! Let it out now. There you go.
This edition was inspired by the endlessly entertaining show "The Violent Years", specifically the scene where our poor, neglected, tourtured heroine, Paula, complains that she gets the same birthday presents every year--a new watch and a new car! Her parents are real pieces of work, all right, since Paula apparently has been recieving cars for many years, even though she can't have had a driver's licence for more than two years tops--she's still in high school, for crying out loud! No wonder she turned out so bad bad bad!
But the point is, this is not the first or last egregious lapse in time measurement in the annals of MST. What I want are specific examples of events, ages, etc. that cannot have taken place in the time period given, whether an eight year old child was born one year ago or people are driving a 1993 car in 1983, I know everyone has at some point been counting on their fingers and muttering "three, four...she was seventeen months pregnant?"
Bonus question: what gift were you heartily tired of recieving for your birthday every year?
See replies for last weeks winners!
No stop no more my life is hell .

Troll Winners!
Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to slay trolls we go! Great answers to my first official game post on this here brand new board and don't think I don't appreciate it! I'd like to make you all winners, but there can be only ONE! And that one is.....
LOSINGMYDIGNITY!!!!!
His utterly halarious and wandering reply damning Critter from "Girl in Gold Boots" is here duly rewarded with his choice of free merchandise from the small roadside store filled with Bomb Pops, and of course, a free ride in the dune buggy! Congrats!
Runners up are Mighty_Jack for Festus the Human Shrew-Jerk and Ator for I Hate Groceries And You And Life And Everything, Everything, Everything Everything Guy from The Creeper. You each win a wet bar and tinny, out of tune piano. Use of the latter leads to copious use of the former. Enjoy!
Everybody play again this time!
What manner of loaf shall I have this evening?

Okay, I don't have a clever tale to tell because just the thought of Ilya from "Sword and the Dragon" makes me burst into laughter.
Don't get me wrong, I love Ilya, he's my favorite. In Hollyweird the hero is always thin, young, tan... But Ilya, well allow me to quote myself from my review page on this ep..
"A 'HEAVY SET FURRY OLD GUY' SAVES THE DAY! FINALLY - A HERO I CAN RELATE TO!
Ilya is old. So old it inspires a great riff from Mike. The scene: Ilya and his dad are reunited and Mr. Nelson quips,
"Why are you older than me, son?"
Okay, perhaps Mike stretches it a bit, but even being generous, dear old dad would have had to have sired the lad when he was 9!
Great riff, great hero, but dad - well dad should have been 6 feet under by my calculations for it to have been accurate.

Yes, Paula has had a zillion cars - I think her parents got pulled into the Hired car place. Dr. Giggles - "We hope you'll buy your next ten cars from us" Joel and the Bots - "Ten cars!?"
I'm so happy to see your game again! It was always one of my favorites! I need to think about this one though before I answer. I'll get back to you...

I got to give it to Timothy Van Patten and Lee Van Cleef in Master Ninja 1 and 2. Lee says he has a daughter he didn't know he had, named Ellerston (or whatever) and she's about the dancer's age in the first ep...I mean the first part of the film! Now seeing as how that girl was probably around 20 and he stayed in Japan for the postwar tranquility that means his daughter at BEST would have been born in '46? And this was '84. So according to the computer in my head that makes her at least 38? Yes? Do most nightclub dancers make it that long? Hmmmmmmmm. THEN in the first epi...I mean the first half of the second film, the one with James Bond, Max says he learned to fly in Vietnam. Uh huh. When he was what, 10? "C'mon Max. Just imagine, Saigon. You're over the Sea of Japan." First off, did the U.S. use gliders in Vietnam? Because that might have been their problem in winning that war if they did. Secondly, weren't helicopters used an awful lot? Now I know, vaguely, that the Vietnam war lasted into the '70's. But in 1984 Max is a guy who can't be much more than what? 25? No way was he in Vietnam. No way! And if he is older than that, geez! What a complete loser!

Hmm... there are a few choices here, but the one I've got to go with is this one:
In Mr. B Natural, Buzz Turner manages to go from knowing nothing about the trumpet to being an expert in what appears to be a few weeks. Having studied a brass instrument for several years (the euphonium) I can tell you that one does not become that proficient that quickly! I was with a lot of trumpet players, and NONE of them, not even one that made all state band first chair, became that proficient that fast!

I'm not sure if this truly falls under your heading, but I'll let you guys decide.
King Dinosaur -
So, it took them...let's say ten minutes to get TO the island. And they set off their atomic bomb bringing civilization to planet Nova (and unfortunately, I think this is one of the truer definitions of "civilization" I've seen which is a sad commentary, but I digress), then they get their khaki butts back into their boat and paddle paddle paddle away from the blast. But I'm pretty darn sure that a ten minute paddle is not sufficient to create a big enough safety cushion for the blast - I look to Glen Manning as evidence. However that ten minute paddle brought them what looks to be several hundred miles away from the blast.
So, that's my time issue, but maybe it's a distance issue? And if that's no good, can we talk about the abominable way that guy throws around the women in this one? I think he really hurt them a couple times. What the hell is that?

Ah the glorious days before disclaimers, huh? We can glue stuff on animals and set them in an aquarium to fight to the death and we can throw women around anyway we want. We're white men! As Joel and the bots were fond of saying back in that first season, "Oh, thank you, Mr. White Male Reality." How did Joey the Lemur/Kinkajou get back, too? He didn't appear to be in the boat with them yet suddenly he pops up safe and sound. "Thank you for destroying my world." That movie has LOTS of problems.

After watching "Parts:The Clonus Horror"
the other night,I couldn't help but wonder if anyone could really have a working "clone" project in 1979(the year this stinker came out).Then it hits me-this guy,Richard who was a testtube baby for some old dude was like in his 20's at least , so that means they had to have a program running in 1959 or sooner.
Weren't people just getting around to irradicating polio and measles or something like that then?
Anywho -wish I could find one of them clone places-I could use a new liver.
Bonus question: I keep getting a pair of black slacks every year,from me mum.Up to 13 pairs now.God love 'er

Just to belabor the obvious. In "Space Mutiny" The Captain's daughter is rather elderly, don't you think?  |
